On first glance I liked layout 1, better, but I think layout 2 would be more usable, since those images are links. The designs along the left as you scroll are a nice design touch most designers don't bother with, and kinda sets your design apart. The one problem with layout 2 is it's very heavy on whitespace - it should probably crop the left bar where there's light content like this, and let that nice vertical design show on more content-heavy pages (presumably, the majority of the site...).

I like the color the circles bring to the design. To make them look less like they should be clicked on, I'd suggest putting something layered across the green background over the top of the circles so that it's obvious they're part of the background. For example, the "telephone trousers" text (or whatever it says) that is currently behind the circles could be moved to the front.

Or, you could go ahead and link them to stuff and make them easter eggs.
